Plate Boundaries- L4

What are the two classifications of plate boundaries mentioned in the lesson objectives?

• Constructive and Destructive

• Active and Passive

• Divergent and Convergent

• Transform and Static

Which natural events are related to constructive and destructive plate boundaries according to the lesson objectives?

• Earthquakes and Volcanic activity

• Tornadoes and Hurricanes

• Tsunamis and Floods

• Landslides and Avalanches

What role do convection currents play in the movement of tectonic plates?

• They cause the plates to sink into the mantle.

• They create new tectonic plates.

• They help move the tectonic plates of the lithosphere.

• They prevent the plates from moving.

What is the lithosphere divided into?

• Continents

• Oceans

• Tectonic plates

• Mountains

Where do tectonic plates meet?

• At the equator

• At plate boundaries

• In the ocean

• At the poles

What occurs at divergent (constructive) plate boundaries?

• Plates move apart, creating new crust

• Plates collide, forming mountains

• Plates slide past each other

• Plates remain stationary

What type of plate boundary involves plates pushing together, causing one plate to be forced under the other?

• Divergent

• Transform

• Convergent

• Passive

What geological feature is caused by the compression at convergent plate boundaries?

• Normal faults

• Reverse faults

• Strike-slip faults

• Transform faults

Which of the following is an example of a convergent plate boundary?

• Continent to continent

• Ocean to ocean

• Ocean to continent

• All of the above

What geological features are formed at continent to continent convergent boundaries?

• Volcanoes

• Mountains

• Ocean trenches

• Islands
